Annual well-child visits and vaccinations are essential in helping make sure children are protected against vaccine-preventable diseases and monitored for other health issues.

Cold and flu season always brings a host of respiratory viruses and runny noses, but this year the possibility of getting both the flu and COVID-19 does exist.
